need advise

I bought a Babylok Imagine several years ago. I love it! I also have a Bernina (a very nice one) but I got so frustrated trying to thread the loopers. The thing that sold me on the Babylok is the auto threading. You just press a button. I'm sure you could probably find a good used one at a Babylok dealer for around $500. They are around $1000 new. But so worth it. I love mine. Wonderful for seaming garments, edging napkins, rolled hem on anything, etc.

I purchased a Brothers and have had alot of fun using it. It is very easy to thread and has done a great job. I make alot of crib quilts and use it to finish the edges so they will last with all the washing that they get. Did alot of research before purchasing it and found that for the money it was my best way to go. Good luck on your decision

Oh, I want a babylock too. I have a nice serger though so probably won't get one soon. I use it all the time, for finishing edges of pants that I shorten, for going around the seams on fabrics that fray a lot, for kids clothes, and much more. Once you have one, and learn to use it, it is indispensable.
Take a class from the dealer to learn all the advantages. At my shop, you can take the class before you buy the serger!

I have a BabyLock and like it. It takes patience to get the threading down, but trial and error, and a good manual, it gets easy. Look at your current sewing projects, other than quilts, and see if a serger will fit in. I haven't used it to finish fabric before washing, but will next time.

I am sitting here laughing to myself. I purchased a serger 4 yrs ago and a sewing machine that embroiders, and quilts and guess what! They are sitting there unused. I do not know how to use them and there is no one to help me. I am a visual person.I also purchased an Accuquilt cutter that is another whole story. After reading your comment I now know I am not alone.
